Bios

Ralph Johnson

Ralph is the heart and soul of the band. One of the founding members, Ralph has taken the wheel and continues to drive the band to new levels. Ralph's drums provide the sound with rhythm, but his vocals, showmanship and spontaneous reggae mixes bring the "wow" moments to every performance.

Eugene Ross

Eugene and Ralph go way back and were together in the Chozen Few back when their afros, bell bottoms and sideburns were bigger than the stage itself. Eugene went solo with his own band for nearly two decades and has earned his reputation as one of the top entertainers in northeast Ohio. Now in 2010, he is back in the Chozen Few Band. He plays guitar, sings, and puts on a show that grabs the undivided attention of every single person in the room.

Gary Swepson

Gary has been a part of the Chozen Few Band for more than 15 years. Gary is a rock steady baseman preferring to stay in the background and do his job. But if the crowd yells enough, he'll bring it and blast out a solo.

JT Krohe

Who is this guy? JT doesn't really look like front man material in the Chozen Few Band. That is, until you hear him. The little guy with big pipes makes the crowd turn its head immediately. JT's been in the band for six years and is a diverse and energetic performer. He sings Sinatra, Al Green, Outkast, Michael Jackson, Michael Buble, and Jack Johnson. That’s some range. And ask him to dance like Michael Jackson. I dare you.

Mahlika Hale

She's got the smile that charms you and the booming vocals that knock you on your ass. Mahlika joined the Chozen Few Band four years ago and has cemented herself as the Band's leading female vocalist. Powerful yet soft and sexy, her voice and stage presence is front and center, providing everyone with plenty of eye and ear candy throughout the night.

Billy Walls

The wild sax man. Billy's solos are legendary. Give him a bar and he'll take four more, then the crowd will ask for another round. Billy's forte is sax, but he also plays drums and base guitar. He doesn't just play on the stage either, he'll play next to you at your table…with everyone watching and screaming.

Curtis Flowers

Curtis has been with the Chozen Few Band for four years and lays down the keys and vocals. When it comes to the band's harmonies, Curtis is the man that puts them together.

Neil Carter

Neil is the lead guitar player and has been in the Chozen Few Band for more than six years. Neil has played guitar for a long time and has seen and played it all. Every once in a while we can get him to solo once of his Hendrix covers. Always a crowd favorite.
